I for one would like to start seeing things like airport kiosks, Per/hour Net Access terminals, Information kiosks, etc. running linux. This allows for this functionality and could potentially expose KDE to the masses.
Instead of telling people to GROW UP, you can think of this as KDE growing up and becoming a viable commercial alternative to Windows. |

YES!! I am working for a startup kiosk supplier, and as the head tech person, will have the final call on what to base our operations on. Initially it was Win2K, but the security issues, quality of software, expense etc. is a major put-off. Now I will have the opportunity to convert our existing and ongoing operations to linux. I've been using (playing with) linux since about '98, and have never been in the position where my employer trusted open source enough to use for commercial applications, until now.
The research is currently ongoing, and I expect to be in a position to offload all MS based software in favour of the penguin within 2 months.
